CIVIL ENGINEER's CLERK
When the order came up to pay for third
clerks salary in the Civil Engineers Office
Mr.. MCGOWAN said he was on the salary
committee, when that bill was brought up
before it, and no mention was then made of
the need of any such additional salary. He
should like to know why the matter was
brought up now.
The Civil Engineer came in and explained
that the work of his Office had grown so
large in the last six years it was absolutely
necessary to have another clerk. If, said
he, the gentlemen of both boards would oc-
casionally visit my Office and see what is GO
ing on, think they would see the necessity
of another clerk.
Mr.. King of Ward four, asked Mr.. Good
win some questions as to the duties of the

THE BACK BAY CONTRACTS.
The Mayor stated that a contract for the
construction of the Marginal Way had been
drawn by the City Civil Engineer, and met
the views of the committee ON laying out
new streets. The contract had been sub
mitted to the Back Bay Commission, and
they recommend certain changes. These
changes, however, are not acceptable to Col
Moore, the contractor, and the committee
accordingly report to the City Council and
ask for instructions. The point of difference
is largely relative to questions which may
arise in regard to the disposition
of the material dredged by the gov
eminent contractor. 1t is desired
to use this material in the city work, and
that largely depends upon whether the gov
eminent contractor and Col. Moore can come
TO an agreement. The commission would
make it imperative that this material be used,
they to govern the time and manner of its
delivery to Col. Moore. This Col. Moore de-
clines to accept. Consequently a new con-
tractor must be found unless the Commission
or Col. Moore will yield, or the City Council,
by reconsidering their vote at the last meet
ing, will authorize the committee to proceed
to make the contract without the approval of
the Back Bay Commission.
Alderman Briggs spoke of the former ac-
ton OF the Board when he opposed subject
ing the contract to the approval of the Com
mission. He moved that the vote of the
Board be reconSidered under which the mat
ter was made subject to the approval of the
Commission.
Alderman Smith said that he could vote
for the reconsideration of the order. as he
opposed giving the commission powers he
believed to belong to the City Government.
Alderman Wilson said that it seemed to
him that there was very little difference be-
tween the Commission and the City Govern
ment. The provision that the material
sheuld be provided the city contractor at
proper times and places he did not think was
great hardship. The Commission was
formed by the action of Portland's repre-
sentatiyes, and is composed Of intelligent
and honorable citizens.
Alderman Galley said that he was not
present at the last meeting, but it seemed to

DEAR SIR:-In view of the differ

trict upon congressional matters last
fall, and mindful of the desire of all
true republicans for harmony and unity
of action when possible, on behalf of
our committee, and representing what
we believe to be the feelings of the re-

am authorized to tender you the
proposition that at as early date as
may be agreeable to you the two con-
gressional committees shall meet at
such time and place as you may indi-
cate, for consultation, and with the
hope upon our part of reaching an adj
justment of past differences that will
be mutually satisfactory, and effective
in solidifying the republican party in
the coming presidential campaign.

The .Wet and "OrY.,,

ATLANTA, Ca, NoY. 25.-The wet"
and 'dry'' campaign here has assumed
a novel phase. For some time travel
ing patent medicine vender, known as
yellowstone Kit" has been in the
city drawing large crowds of negroes.
AS the negro is the balance of power
Yellowstone Kit" was beseiged by
both parties to drop a word favorable
to their cause. One prominent prohi-
bitionist offered him IS, 900 if he would
come over to the dry" side. The ex-
governor, senators, judges, ministers
and leading business men crowded
around the curly-headen quack.
Wednesday Kit came out for the wet
ticket and carried the negroes with
him. They took him upon their Shout
diers and carried him around. Yester-
day the city police, who are under pro
hibition management, stopped Kit from
his usual exhibition. This summary
proceeding, coming in the juncture it
did, has aroused the anti-prOhibition-
lists, Hwho denounce it as an attempt to
suppress free speech. Kit has taken
the field and it looks as if he was going
to be the Moses of the ants.

rible disaster probably occurred near
here last night during gale from the
east which was accompanied by a rag
ing snow storm. A steamer about IL
O'Clock last night, at the height of the
gale, blew the distress signal but moth
ing could reach her as the storm was
terrible. This morning upwards to
300 barrels of flour were picked up on
the beach here and it is still coming
ashore. The steamer probably struck
on Poes reef on lake Huron and to save
herself threw the cargo overheard.
Nothing can be heard of her.
1t has since been learned that the
boat blowing signals of distress during
the night was the propeller Albany.
| She is ashore at the foot of Bots Blanc
Island, and is full of water. The crew
were saved. The barge Montgomery is
near her, also in bad shape, and two
large steamers are reported ashore be-
low Sheboygan. The lights of all went
out last night during the storm.
